Hey guys,

Edwin from TopTireReview

One of the most question I got when it comes to Continental tires is about their range of products in Malaysia. Most of them time the conversation would end in a question asking which one is better?

So I thought I would just answer this directly in a post below

Continental APAC tire lineup

Hope this helps!

just curious edwin,
did u join the development of cc7 haha?

Nope. Left to another department before it was started

Time-to-market of PremiumContact and SportContact of Continental Malaysia is really poor. If you have contact with their senior executive, please feedback.

We are either forced to pay insane 3x price buying from car dealer, grey import from Singapore, or jump to others brands (most of the time Michelin PS4S).

Malaysia only start selling PemiumContact6 after 2 years of global launch.
When they did, only 2x non OE stock in Malaysia hub, everything have to wait and they not sure about OE.

Now PremiumContact 7 and SportContact 7 availability is no where to be seen.

I ended up with upgrade from OE PC6 to SC7 grey import.

What the difference premium contact C and these?

nice! very informative article, keep it up~

I would suggest you to study(scientifically) and write an article comparing UC7 vs UC6 SUV before i decide which to choose.

Main criteria would be:
dry handling
dry road noise
dry stopping distance
wet handling
wet braking distance

many SUV owner can't made up their mind between a normal tyre or a SUV tyre...

Premium Contact C seems available in South Aast Asia only, and is a eco, low rolling resistance tyre.

Never driven this tyre, but my take is it is spawn due to more and more Econobox B-segment cars are getting larger 17", but still want narrow width like 195mm, 205mm.
So there is market for "high end" Comfort Contact.

Whereas Premium Contact 6, 7 are real Touring/UHP tyre, that can compete with both Michelin Primacy4 and PilotSport4/5.

Sport Contact 6, 7 are UUHP, and is the same league as Michelin PilotSport 4S, Bridgestone Potenza Sport, Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6 etc.

Maybe Continental realized their tyres are too hard for Malaysian roads that are uneven, badly patched and filled with potholes.

Performance is definitely not bad but comfort and noise.. I think Michelin still win

I think it is a cheaper version of premium contact series.
Just bought to replace stock toyo proxes r45.
Quieter than toyo, rm500 per donut, fitted to crv awd
